Introduction

Course overview

In groups with many legal entities, intercompany transactions are a frequent source of delay and error at period end. Mismatched balances, inconsistent cut-off, currency differences and unclear ownership can hold up consolidation, distort results and attract audit findings.

This Intercompany Accounting and Reconciliation training course gives participants a structured approach to recording, matching, reconciling, settling and eliminating intercompany transactions. Participants learn how to design intercompany policies and agreements, manage netting and settlement, resolve differences quickly and prepare reliable eliminations for consolidated financial statements.

The course also covers governance, controls, tax and transfer pricing interfaces, and the technology options available to automate intercompany processes and support a faster, cleaner close.
